Fantasy Football Podcast and Live Draft

Ryla Cooper, I like him. Heartline is, he's okay. Hakeem Nix is a, that's a moon pick for his moon hands. Yeah, I'm not a big Knicks guy. Probably for the same reason you're not a big Hilton guy. Which is fine. I don't, I'm not saying we take him, but I kind of like him. Andrew Hawkins. Amindola? Amidola. A guy who I like. Airdopson for a moon pick. I think he's going to play. And if he doesn't play right away by the time we need him. He's the downfield threat there. I like that.

Yeah, he's going to be that, he'll be that outside guy. Kenroll Tompkins is right now, but Aaron Dobson will take him. We are one away from Riley Cooperville, which I will force you to take him. That's fine. We're working as a team here. I think he's going to go right here, though. Riley Cooper. He went right before us. Oh, he got, because he got auto-picked. Was he the highest? Honestly, I think that the highest value pick here, believe it or not, is James. You like James Jones? Going through this list a little bit more, I like Greg Jennings, Matt Castle is playing him when...

When Castle was playing, Greg Jennings was productive. Greg Jennings is the kind of pick I don't like making late in the draft. Okay. You want to go? I don't want to draft the guy whose ceiling's probably 800 yards and eight touchdowns. Okay. You wouldn't take that from your 11th round pick? The ceiling. I guess. I want a ceiling that's higher. I guess I would take that if that's what I could guarantee.

Yeah, I like James Jones. I can be talking about it. Nobody. I don't know. We'll take James Jones likely. You're going to bet on... Let me just scroll through. Yeah, yeah. If there's anyone else that is really interesting. Gunslinger? Yeah, he's got a nice arm. Okay, James Jones. Yeah, there you go. Let's take a shot out. Now we're at the point in the draft when...

We haven't done a recap in a very long time. What was the last time we did? Okay, round 10. This is round 10. Daniel Williams, Dwayne Bo, Marcus Wheaton, Devon. It's really late for Dio, by the way. Quote of course, starting running back. It's really late. And John Stewart is probably still on the board. He'll be on the board. He'll probably go. He'll go to waivers, which is, I don't.

I don't think I'll let that happen. It's hard. Yeah, it's hard to love those guys. Kenny Britt, Jared Boykin, who I think is a fantastic pick. He's the number three on an offense that's going to score a ton of points, and he's won Jordy Nelson hamstring away from being a high wide receiver. He was highly valuable last year. New England, Mark Ingram, our pick, Colin Kaepernick, Cecil Shorts, Danny Woodhead, San Francisco. Round 11, like Garrett Blunt, DeAndre Hopkins, Darren Sprouls.

Riley Cooper, James Jones, Andre Williams. Oh, there he went. Chris Ivory, Rathus Berger, Ahmed Bradshaw, Philip Rivers, Carson Palmer. Kaepernick in the 11th, or Cutler in the 6th? Cutler in the 6th? Yeah. I mean, that value is tremendous for Kaepernick, but I just... You're high on... I am... Super Bowl-bound.

You heard you hear of first Mike's favorite team? I didn't say that. I'm talking about fantasy football. I'm not talking about real football. Offenses, they win, don't they? They get to Super Bowls, apparently. So, as we'll go, another wide receiver, do we want to go, do you want to James Stark's handcuff Eddie Lacey? Or do you want to roll the dice? Well, let's talk about that philosophy in general.

12-team league. I think there's a little bit more of a handcuff need, but I think with Jeremy Hale-Steven, we'd be starting those guys above them. Really? James Starks was a strong producer when he came in. You're right. I'm okay. You just lock that spot up. It's tough. You lock that spot up and you don't have trade value at that spot. And that's the back and forth of handcuffing. I mean, certain guys, like you said, James Starks is the clear-cut handcuff.

Well, maybe not, though. He's not a clear cut anymore with Dewan Harris. So I don't think you handcuffed. Okay. Where I sit on handcuffing is if it's a guy of that level with the system, with a good system, then you handcuff him because you're guaranteeing the starting running back of that team. The problem that I would say in this situation is you're not guaranteeing that. Yeah, because with this new DeWan Harris news that's coming out, we're not sure.

My money is still on James Starks, but I can, I see that. Yeah, and he might be. It's just tough to. So with my point of handcuffing, if you've got a guy like Adrian Peterson, I'm not drafting Asiata or McKinnon, even though the reviews on McKinnon are great, but he won't be a full-time back.

He's not, and he won't be able to produce like Adrian Peterson is. Not this year anyways. As opposed to, if you went to Kansas City, Nile Davis. Oh, I'd be, you've got to, you have to take Nile Davis. Clear handcuff to Jamal Charles. Another situation that isn't clear is something like Philadelphia, where Jaron Spoles is not a clear-cut handcuff to O'Shawn McCoy. Right. Well, it was, it was supposed to be Chris Polk, but.

He's been hamming it up. It's probably going to be an ensemble of guys, and that's where it handcuffing just doesn't work. Right. And forte, it was, it's not Khadim. I can't even remember. Sean Drawn. That's pathetic by me that I can't think of it. You're saying Khadim Carrey did not win the backup job. No, he did not. And Shane Drawn or whatever is. That is Bushley. Shane drawn, right? Sean drawn. Sean drawn. Okay.

That's making sure I wasn't crazy. We don't have to be able to pronounce it. We know who he is. It's his mother's fault. We know about fantasy football. So I still like, if you wanted to go, well, Dobson's gone, huh? Yeah, he is. So, I mean, to me, is Steve Smith gone to you? No, he's still sitting there. Yeah, I mean, he's going to fly in the face of what I said last time.

Because you probably look at him and you say, hey, Greg Jennings, same type of thing. Well, Greg Jennings is gone. I still think Doug Ball. I think Doug Ball wins the best wide receiver in Seattle. Okay. So he's a consideration, too. Andrew Hawkins is the starter in Cleveland. If you're talking wide receiver ones, I actually think Mike Williams is the wide receiver one in Tampa Bay or in Buffalo. Are you kidding me? No, I'm not kidding you. I don't think Sammy Watkins is, and not to mention he's hurt.

I'm not saying I'll draft him. Robert Woods. No, it's Mike Williams. Woods has been the... Stay away from the Buffalo offense. Stay far, far away. Except for Fred Jackson. So who's your gut telling you here? Oh, man. Doug Baldwin is not a bad pick. That does not excite me. Why don't you go to Best Available in 19 seconds left here? All players? Yeah.

We got any wide receivers. I mean, Kenny Stills is on there. Oh, crap. We're drafting Doug Baldwin. We're running out time. There you go. Well, sometimes the clock makes the decision for you. Seriously, we just auto-picks. No, he didn't. Doug Baldwin, we got one bench spot left. So at this point, you know, shoot for the moon. And so Lederius Green just went after Doug Baldwin, and people are...

Talking this guy up. It's ridiculous. Like crazy. It's ridiculous. Antonio Gates was good last year. Yeah. Lederis Green is talented, but he's just not going to get the snaps and targets in a run-first offense to make any sense. He's the perfect guy that's going to get hyped up and then let you down. What did I see him compared to? Jared Cook from last year. Oh, man. Jared Cook, hyper-athlete, right? Oh, he's going to. He had one good game. He did. He did have a great game. Hope you cast in like I did.

uh traded him away as soon as he had his big game that was brutal and then and then that was even just that wasn't jared cook that was the cardinals he's as great as their defense was they were very weak against the tight end what about kairie robinson in this next pick um have him and ingram yeah i'm not or is that just locking up i think that's a waste of a i think that's a waste of a spot the because even if ingram goes down i think pierre thomas is uh

role just improves. Terence West? How much? He's probably going on. You want to handcuffed with Terence West after we have told people how bad he is? He's terrible. All Johnny football. Get him on your team, people. Oh my goodness. I'll walk out of this room. So, guys who I like. Not a room for his ego and you and me all to fit. Guys who I like.

I still see Steve Smith's name. Yeah, Steve Smith is there. I'm also like Hawkins. Yeah, I'm okay with Hawkins. Are we... We got one pick left, right? Yeah, one positional player left. Or do we go... Yeah, we probably grab best available here. Or do we want to just take the best defense? Cincinnati's still on the board. Cincinnati is under Kansas City, Carolina, Houston, St. Louis, and Detroit. What is Detroit doing up so high? It's crazy.

I love Detroit for week one, but that is silly. So do you want to take Cincinnati? I think you take the D because we're going to drop our last position player no matter of way. In Cincinnati, I generally am a big streamer of defense. I will take the best defense matchup every week. But Cincinnati is good enough for that they could just be a plug-and-play. And they start off the season against Cleveland?

Do, no, Cleveland's playing Pittsburgh. Baltimore? They must play. Must be Baltimore. Because they like the division games. Yeah. So we are up in five picks, and I think we're going to go Cincinnati. So let's recap. Sean Green, by the way, going at where he went at 133. He's a starting running back. He is a starting running back. Nobody likes him, but he is.

So we took Doug Baldwin and then La Derry's Green went Heath Miller, Darren McFadden, Danny Amadola, who this late that is, that's a good pick. Oh, Travis Kelsey. That was one of a guy I was considering as well. Sneaky little, uh, he's like Laderie's Green though. He's kind of capped by Fasano and the other. Yeah, but he just. We are on the clock, by the way. Yeah, and Jonathan Stewart went. I'm going to take Cincinnati. Take him.

So we were wrong. Jonathan Stewart did get drafted. I think that's because of... Lucky guy. I think that was influenced by the Y rank of Yahoo. So with our last pick before we take the kicker of the year. That we have to take. McNamaris from Denver. Guys, so let's look at all offense. Why is it?

Is everyone but a defense? That's a strange subcategory. So for wide receivers, we got Andrew Hawkins is still there. Kenny Stills is still there. Yeah, but Kenny Stills, this quad thing, I think, is going to go all year. It is not good. So Hawkins, I would be choosing. What about Marvin Jones to throw on IR? 10 touchdowns last year? That's possible. 700 receiving yards.

Marvin Jones is starting the year on IR for Cincinnati. Mohamed Sanu will be in that spot to start the year off, but that's a productive offense. Speaking of receivers, Sunu has looked pretty good. He's a good player. And so a good guy, let's see, I'll go through the people I'm looking at. I like Hawkins, Malcolm Floyd. The Homer in me has that John Brown. Arizona wide receiver? Swing for the moon, yeah.

Uh, Muhammad Sunu, he's okay. I don't know what the IR rules are in this league, but Marvin, taking Marvin Jones. And if we can take Marvin Jones, put him on the IR and then pick up one of these wide receivers. That's, uh, that's not bad. Right? That's not a bad thing to do. Oh, and we, so we are up a... What's our bench looks like? Let's go through that for a... Okay, let's talk to see. Jeremy Hill, Stephen Redley, Mark Ingram.

James Jones and Doug Baldwin, 12-team, 3-Wed Receiver League. So I think I'm okay with whatever we want to do with this last spot here. Okay. It doesn't matter, position? No, no, it doesn't because I think we're probably going to drop somebody. I'm taking Johnny football. Take him. No, I'm not. I am not. Kyrie Robinson is still there. Kyrie Robinson is...

Well, here's the thing. If one of those guys goes down, the other one eats. I don't think he does. You think Pierre Thomas just takes out of this now? I think Thomas just will be, Thomas will ascend. I mean, if you wanted Starks, just to drop him after a week, it's fine too. Yeah, that's, I think, I think that's what I would do if you weren't here is I would take. I'd grab James Starks. Doesn't bother me. I'll just convince you to drop him in a week. We have.
